InstallAnywhere 2018
When you enable maintenance mode, InstallAnywhere automatically adds Check Running Mode rules to the action groups that are created in the Pre-Install and Pre-Uninstall sequences.
In addition, you can also manually apply a Check Running Mode rule to action groups, actions, or panels in your project to specify whether that element should be executed during install mode, upgrade mode, or maintenance mode. This enables you to customize the events that occur when an end user launches various modes.
Important • When a Check Running Mode rule is assigned to an action group, it is applied to all panels and actions in that action group.
The Check Running Mode rule customizer includes the following options:

Important • You should always add a Check Running Mode rule to the Uninstaller action for your product, and you should set that Check Running Mode rule to Installation so that it executes only once.
Note • If a panel in the Pre-Install sequence does not have a Check Running Mode rule assigned either to itself or any of its parents, this panel is run during Install, Maintenance Mode/Add Features, and Maintenance Mode/Repair Installation.
If a panel in the Pre-Uninstall sequence does not have a Check Running Mode rule assigned either to itself or any of its parents, then this panel will be run during Uninstall and Maintenance Mode/Remove Features.
